Can You Steep White Tea Too Long?
Yes, steeping white tea for too long can result in a bitter taste. White tea leaves are delicate and have a lower level of tannins compared to other types of tea, so they should only be steeped for 2-3 minutes. Steeping white tea for too long can also cause a loss of its subtle flavor and delicate aroma. To ensure the perfect cup of white tea, follow the recommended steeping time and find the ideal temperature for the type of white tea you are brewing.
